These two surveillance camera photos of suspects in Tuesday's jewelry heist were released on Friday by the town of Ulster Police Department.

TOWN OF ULSTER, N.Y. -- Police now say they are looking for five people -- three men and two women -- in connection with the theft of gold charms worth thousands of dollars from the Jewelry Expressions store in Hudson Valley Mall.

The town of Ulster Police Department, which originally said it was looking for two suspects in the Tuesday evening heist, issued a press release on Friday that said the number was five. The department also released four surveillance photos that appear to show a total of four people.

The press release included descriptions of three of the suspects.

One was described as a Hispanic woman in her 30s with a short, heavy build and long, dark, wavy hair. She was wearing tan leggings with black swirls and bright pink lipstick.

A man who accompanied her was described as Hispanic and in his 30s with a short, heavy build and a gap in his front teeth. He was wearing shorts, a fisherman's hat and big, black-framed glasses.

A third suspect was described as a dark-skinned, balding male wearing a blue crew-neck T-shirt and blue shorts or pants.

Employees told police earlier that while they were waiting on a customer Tuesday evening, someone cut the cable wire that was securing a display of charms and removed it. Police have said the crime occurred between 5 and 7 p.m.

Police said the suspects got away in a waiting car, a silver sedan.

Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who can identify the suspects is asked to call Ulster police at (845) 382-1111.
